Lase lifika izwi likaNkulunkulu kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu, lathi:

Bheka, kwavela kwaJuda umuntu kaNkulunkulu ngezwi likaJehova , weza eBethele; uJerobowamu wayemi e-altare ukushisa impepho.

Kwakuhlala eBethele umprofethi omdala. Amadodana akhe afika amtshela yonke imisebenzi lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu abeyenzile ngalolo suku eBethele, namazwi abewakhulumile enkosini. Uyise esetsheliwe,

uyise wathi kuwo : Uhambe ngayiphi indlela na ? Amadodana ayebonile ukuthi uhambe ngayiphi indlela lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu owavela kwaJuda.

Wamlandela lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , wamfumana ehlezi phansi kwe - oki; wathi kuye: Wena ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu lowo owavela kwaJuda na? Wathi: Nginguye.

wamemeza kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu owavela kwaJuda , wathi: Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Njengokuba ungalilalelanga izwi likaJehova , ungagcinanga umyalo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuyala ngawo,

Esezwile lokho umprofethi obembuyisile endlelni wathi: Ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu lowo owayengalaleli izwi likaJehova ; ngalokho uJehova umnikele kuyo ingonyama , yamdwengula; yambulala njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma kuye.

Umprofethi wasiphakamisa isidumbu salowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , wasibeka embongolweni, wasibuyisa; wafika emzini womprofethi omdala ukuba alile, ammbele.

Kwathi esemmbele, wakhuluma kumadodana akhe, wathi: Lapho sengifile, ngimbeleni ethuneni embelwe kulo lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu, nibeke amathambo ami eceleni kwamathambo akhe.

Kwathi inkosi isizwile izwi lalowo muntu kaNkulunkulu alibiza ngalo i - altare laseBethele , uJerobowamu waselula isandla sakhe ese -altare, wathi: Mbambeni. Kepha isandla sakhe aselulela kuye sashwabana, akaba namandla okusibuyisela kuye.

I-altare ladabuka , umlotha we -altare wachitheka e -altare njengesiboniso asinikile lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu ngezwi likaJehova.

Inkosi yayisithatha yathi kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu : Ake unxuse phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ungikhulekele ukuba isandla sami siphiliswe. Lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wanxusa kuJehova, saphiliswa isandla sakhe, saba njengakuqala.

Yayisithi inkosi kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu : Woza siye ekhaya , uzihlumelele, ngikuphe isipho.

Wayesethi ku-Eliya: Nginamsebenzi muni nawe muntu kaNkulunkulu na ? Uze kimi ukuba kukhumbuleke isono sami nokuba kubulawe indodana yami.

Owesifazane wathi ku-Eliya: Manje sengiyazi ukuthi wena ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu nokuthi izwi likaJehova elisemlonyeni wakho liyiqiniso.

Wavuka, wadla, waphuza, wahamba ngamandla alokho kudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane , waya entabeni kaNkulunkulu iHorebe.

Wayesesondela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wathi enkosini yakwa-Israyeli: Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Ngokuba ama -Aramu eshilo ukuthi uJehova ungunkulunkulu wezintaba , kasiye unkulunkulu wezigodi , ngiyakusinikela sonke lesi sixuku esikhulu esandleni sakho, nize nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

UHiramu wayenza leyo micengezi , namafosholo, nezitsha. UHiramu wayeseqeda ukwenza wonke umsebenzi abewenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaNkulunkulu:

Ngokuba imihla ngemihla bafika kuDavide ukumsiza , kwaze kwaba yimpi enkulu njengempi kaNkulunkulu. Umumo wabantu abambeka uDavide inkosi eHebroni

UDavide wamesaba uNkulunkulu ngalolo suku; wathi: Ngizakuletha kanjani umphongolo kaNkulunkulu kimi na?

Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wahlala nabendlu ka -Obede Edomi endlini yakhe izinyanga ezintathu; uJehova wayibusisa indlu ka-Obede Edomi nakho konke anakho.

sibuyisele kithi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wethu , ngokuba asiwufunanga ezinsukwini zikaSawule.

UDavide wayesebutha wonke u -Israyeli kusukela eSihori laseGibithe kuze kube sekuyeni eHamati ukususa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eKiriyati Jeharimi.

UDavide wenyukela kanye naye wonke u -Israyeli e Bahala, okungukuthi iKiriyati Jeharimi elalingelakwaJuda , ukukhuphula khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uJehova ohlezi phezu kwamakherubi , owawubizwa ngegama lakhe.

Bawuhambisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngengqukumbane entsha , bewukhipha endlini ka-Abinadaba; o-Uza no-Ahiyo bashayela ingqukumbane.

Wazakhela izindlu emzini kaDavide ; walungisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu indawo, wawumisela itende.

Abantwana bamaLevi bawuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu emahlombe abo ngezinti zawo njengokuyala kukaMose ngezwi likaJehova.

Khona uDavide wathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nga ungathwalwa muntu, ngamaLevi kuphela , ngokuba yiwona akhet hwe nguJehova ukuthwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu nokumkhonza kuze kube phakade.

OShebaniya, noJehoshafati, noNethaneli, no-Amasayi, noZakariya, noBenaya, no-Eliyezeri, abapristi, bashaya amacilongo phambi komphongolo kaNkulunkulu; o-Obede Edomi noJehiya babe ngabalindisango bomphongolo.

Bawungenisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , bawubeka phakathi netende uDavide ayelimisele wona ; banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa nangeminikelo yokuthula phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

Qinani, masiziqinise ngenxa yabantu bakithi nangenxa yemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu; uJehova makenze okuhle emehlweni akhe.

Kwaba kubi emehlweni kaNkulunkulu; ngalokho washaya u-Israyeli.

UDavide wayala ukuba babuthe bonke abafokazi ababe sezweni lakwa - Israyeli, wabeka abakhi ukubaza amatshe axhoziweyo ukuba bakhe indlu kaNkulunkulu.

Kepha uMose , lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , amadodana akhe abizwa ngesizwe sakwaLevi.

Ngokuba indawo yawo yayingasesandleni samadodana ka-Aroni ukukhonza endlini kaJehova, nasemagcekeni, nasemakamelweni, nokuhlambulula zonke izinto ezingcwele, nomsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu,

bonke labo babe ngamadodana kaHemani umboni wenk osi ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu okuphakamisa uphondo lwakhe ; uNkulunkulu wamnika uHemani amadodana ayishumi nane namadodakazi amathathu.

Onke lawo ayephansi kwezandla zikayise ekuhlabeleleni endlini kaJehova ngamasimbali, nangezingubhu, nangamahabu enkonzweni yasendlini kaNkulunkulu, o-Asafa noJeduthuni noHemani bephansi kwezandla zenkosi.

KumaLevi u -Ahiya wayephethe ingcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu nengcebo yezinto ezingcwele.

nesifanekiso sakho konke ayenakho emicabangweni yakhe ngamagceke endlu kaJehova , nangamakamelo nxazonke , nangengcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu, nangengcebo yezinto ezingcwele;

Nazi izigaba zabapristi nezamaLevi zazo zonke izinkonzo zendlu kaNkulunkulu; kuyakuba nawe emsebenzini wonke abantu abazinikela ngenhliziyo naba yizingcweti ezinkonzweni zonke; nezikhulu nabantu bonke bayakulalela konke okukhulumayo.

Sengilungisele indlu kaNkulunkulu wami nga mandla ami onke igolide lokwegolide, nesiliva lokwesiliva, nethusi lokwethusi, nensimbi yokwensimbi, nemithi yokwemithi, namatshe amashohamu nawokufakwa , namatshe ahlobisayo nanemibala eyahlukeneyo , nezinhlobo zonke zamatshe ayigugu , namatshe amhlophe amaningi.

Futhi njengokuba ngiyenamela indlu kaNkulunkulu wami , nginengcebo yegolide nesiliva, ngiyanika indlu kaNkulunkulu wami yona phezu kwakho konke engikulungisele indlu engcwele,

Abafowabo amaLevi banikelelwa yonk e inkonzo yetabernakele lendlu kaNkulunkulu.

Kepha u -Aroni namadodana akhe bashiya iminikelo e -altare leminikelo yokushiswa nase-altare lempepho, benza nawo wonke umsebenzi wendawo engcwelengcwele, benzela u -Israyeli ukubuyisana njengakho konke ayale ngakho uMose inceku kaNkulunkulu.

no-Azariya kaHilikiya kaMeshulamu kaSadoki kaMerayoti ka -Ahithubi, umphathi wendlu kaNkulunkulu,

nabafowabo, izinhloko zezindlu zawoyise , beyinkulungwane namakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi ayisithupha , amadoda ahlakaniphile emsebenzini wenkonzo yasendlini kaNkulunkulu.

ngokuba abalindi abane abakhulu ababe ngamaLevi babe sesikhundleni njalo, bephethe amakamelo nengcebo endlini kaNkulunkulu.

Bahlala ebusuku bezungeza indlu kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba kwakungokwabo ukuyilinda, kwakungokwabo futhi ukuyivula ekuseni imihla ngemihla.

Izwe liyadlula kanye nenkanuko yalo ; kepha owenza intando kaNkulunkulu uhlala kuze kube phakade. Ukufika kwabaphikukristu

owenza isono ungokaSathane , ngokuba uSathane uyona kwasekuqaleni . INdodana kaNkulunkulu yabonakaliswa ngalokhu , ukuze ichithe imisebenzi kaSathane.

Yazini uMoya kaNkulunkulu ngalokhu: bonke omoya abavuma ukuthi uJesu Kristu ufikile enyameni bangabakaNkulunkulu;

Okholwa yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu unobufakazi phakathi kwakhe . Ongakholwa nguNkulunkulu umenze umqambimanga , ngokuba engakholwanga ngubufakazi uNkulunkulu abufakazile ngeNdodana yakhe.

Onayo iNdodana unokuphila; ongenayo iNdodana kaNkulunkulu akanakho ukuphila.

Nginilobele lokho , ukuze nazi ukuthi ninokuphila okuphakade nina enikholwa egameni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu.

Kepha sazi ukuthi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu isifikile , yasinika ingqondo ukuze simazi oweqiniso ; sikuye oweqiniso , kuyo iNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu. Yena unguNkulunkulu oqinisileyo nokuphila okuphakade.

Ngokuba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu ; kepha uma kuthathela kithina , kuyakuba yini ukuphela kwabangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na?

Ngakho abahluphekayo ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu mababeke imiphefumulo yabo kuMdali othembekayo ngokwenza okuhle.

ukuze ngesikhathi esiseleyo nisesenyameni ningabe nisahlala ngezinkanuko zabantu kodwa ngentando kaNkulunkulu.

NgoSilvanu umfowethu othembekayo ngokubona kwami nginilobele ngokufushane, ngincenga, ngifakaza ukuthi lo yiwo umusa oqinisekileyo kaNkulunkulu; yimani kuwo.

Ngokuba izwi lesiphambano kwababhubhayo lingubuwula, kepha kithina esisindiswayo lingamandla kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba ngumuphi kubantu owazi okomuntu , uma kungesiye umoya womuntu okuye na ? Ngokunjalo nokukaNkulunkulu akwaziwa muntu , kuphela nguMoya kaNkulunkulu.

Umuntu wemvelo kakwamukeli okukaMoya kaNkulunkulu , ngokuba kungubuwula kuye; angekuqonde, ngokuba kubonisiswa ngokomoya.

Lapho sebefike khona entabeni , bheka, iviyo labaprofethi lahlangana naye ; uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela phezu kwakhe, waprofetha phakathi kwabo.

Emva kwalokho uyakufika entabeni kaNkulunkulu, lapho likhona ikhanda lamaFilisti; kuyakuthi nxa usufikile khona emzini , uhlangane neviyo labaprofethi behla endaweni ephakemeyo benogubhu , nesigubhu, negenkle, nehabhu phambi kwabo, beprofetha;

USawule wathi ku -Ahiya: Letha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu . Ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wawukhona ngaleso sikhathi kwabakwa-Israyeli.

UDavide wakhuluma kubantu ababemi naye , wathi: Kuyakwenziwa ntoni kumuntu obulala lowo mFilisti , asuse ihlazo kwa -Israyeli, na? Ngokuba ngubani lowo mFilisti ongasokile ukuba ayeyise impi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo na?

Inceku yakho yahlula ingonyama nebhere , nalowo mFilisti ongasokile uyakuba njengenye yazo, lokhu eyeyisile impi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

USawule wathuma izithunywa ukumthatha uDavide ; lapho zibona iviyo labaprofethi beprofetha , uSamuweli emi engumholi wabo , uMoya kaNkulunkulu wazehlela izithunywa zikaSawule, nazo zaprofetha.

Wayeseya khona eNayoti eRama ; uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehlela naphezu kwakhe, wahambahamba waprofetha, waze wafika eNayoti eRama.

U-Akhishi waphendula, wathi kuDavide: Ngiyazi ukuthi umuhle emehlweni ami njengengelosi kaNkulunkulu , nokho izikhulu zamaFilisti zishil o ukuthi: Akayikukhuphuka, aye nathi empini.

Kwafika umuntu kaNkulunkulu ku -Eli, wathi kuye : UJehova usho kanje , uthi: Angithi ngazibonakalisa kuyo indlu kayih lo, beseseGibithe besendlini kaFaro.

isibani sikaNkulunkulu sasingakacimi , uSamuweli elele ethempelini likaJehova, lapho kwakukhona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu,

Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wathathwa ; amadodana omabili ka -Eli, oHofini noFinehasi, abulawa.

Ekufikeni kwakhe, bheka, u-Eli wayehlezi esihlalweni sakhe ngaseceleni komgwaqo, ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayithuthumela ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu. Esengenile emzini lowo muntu , wakubika, wakhala umuzi wonke.

Owaletha umbiko waphendula wathi : U-Israyeli ubalekile phambi kwamaFilisti; kwakukhona ukubulawa okukhulu phakathi kwabantu ; amadodana akho omabili oHofini noFinehasi afile , nomphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe. Ukufa kuka-Eli. U-Ikabodi

Umalokazana wakhe , umkaFinehasi, wayekhulelwe esezakubeletha ; esezwile umbiko wokuthi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe nokuthi kufile uyisezala nomyeni wakhe , wakhonkobala, wabeletha, ngokuba wafikelwa yimihelo.

Wamqamba umntwana ngokuthi u -Ikabodi, ethi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa - Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe, nangenxa kayisezala wakhe nomyeni wakhe.

Wathi: Inkazimulo isukile kwa-Israyeli, ngokuba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uthathiwe.

AmaFilisti athatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , awususa e-Ebeni Ezeri , awuyisa e-Ashidodi.

Base bethuma umphongolo kaNkulunkulu e -Ekroni. Kwathi ekufikeni komphongolo kaNkulunkulu e -Ekroni abase -Ekroni bakhala bathi : Balethile umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli kithi ukuba usibulale thina nabantu bakithi.

Bathuma babutha onke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Wususeni umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, ubuyele endlini yawo , ukuba ungasibulali thina nabantu bakithi, ngokuba kwakukhona ukungquzuka okokufa emzini wonke; isandla sikaNkulunkulu sasinzima kakhulu khona.

AmaFilisti awuthatha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu , awungenisa endlini kaDagoni, awubeka ngakuye uDagoni.

Abantu base -Ashidodi sebebona ukuthi kunjalo bathi : Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli awuyikuhlala kithi , ngokuba isandla sakhe silukhuni phezu kwethu naphezu kukaDagoni unkulunkulu wethu.

Bathuma babuthela kubo on ke amakhosi amaFilisti , bathi: Siyakwenzani ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli na ? Athi: Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli mawususelwe eGati . Bawususela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli khona.

Bathi: Uma nimukisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ningawumukisi ze, kepha anobuyisela nokubuyisela kuye umnikelo wecala ; khona niyakuphiliswa, kwazeke kini ukuthi isandla sakhe asisuswa ngani kini.

USawule wayesethi kuyo inceku yakhe : Lihle izwi lakho ; woza sihambe . Base beya emzini lapho lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wayekhona.

Yathi kuye : Bheka, kukhona kulo muzi umuntu kaNkulunkulu , umuntu ohloniphekayo; konke akushoyo kuyakwenzeka impela ; masiye khona , mhlawumbe angasitshela indlela esihamba ngayo.

Lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu wayithukuthelela , wathi: Uma ubushaye kahlanu noma kayisithupha, wawulahlulile i -Aramu waze waliqeda , kepha manje uyakulahlula i-Aramu kathathu kuphela.

Base bekhuluma enkosini yase -Asiriya, bethi: Abezizwe obasusileyo wabahlalisa emizini yaseSamariya abawazi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe ; ngalokho uthumile izingonyama phakathi kwabo ; bheka, ziyababulala, ngokuba abawazi umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

Inkosi yase -Asiriya yayisiyala ngokuthi : Yisani khona omunye wabapristi enibathumbile lapho , ahambe ahlale khona , abafundise umthetho kaNkulunkulu wezwe.

U-Eliya waphendula , wathi enduneni yamashumi ayisihlanu : Uma ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu , makwehle umlilo ezulwini , ukuqede wena namashumi ayisihlanu akho . Wehla-ke umlilo ezulwini , wayiqeda yona namashumi ayisihlanu ayo.

Yakhuphuka le nduna yesithathu yamashumi ayisi hlanu, yafika yaguqa ngamadolo phambi kuka -Eliya, yamnxusa, yathi kuye : We muntu kaNkulunkulu , ukuphila kwami nokuphila kwalezi zinceku zakho ezingamashumi ayisihlanu makube yigugu emehlweni akho.

Wayesethuma kuye induna yamashumi ayisihlanu inamashumi ayisihlanu ayo. Yakhuphukela kuye; bheka, wayehlezi esiqongweni sentaba. Yakhuluma kuye, yathi: We muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi ishilo ukuthi: Yehla.

Wakhuphuka, wambeka embhedeni womuntu kaNkulunkulu , wamvalela, waphuma.

Wabiza indoda yakhe , wathi: Ake ungithumele enye yezinceku nenye yezimbongolo ukuba ngigijimele kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu, bese ngibuya.

Wayesehamba-ke, wafika kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu entabeni yaseKarmeli. Kwathi la pho lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu embona esekude , wathi kuGehazi inceku yakhe: Bheka, nanguya umShunemikazi;

Wafika kumuntu kaNkulunkulu entabeni , wabamba izinyawo zakhe . UGehazi wasondela ukuba amxoshe , kepha umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi : Myeke, ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe imunyu phakathi kwakhe ; uJehova ungifihlele lokho, kangitshelanga.

Wayeseya ukumtshela lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu . Wathi yena : Hamba uthengise ngamafutha , ukhokhe isikwenetu sakho , uzondle wena namadodana akho ngaseleyo.

Wathi endodeni yakhe: Bheka, manje sengiyazi ukuthi ungumuntu ongcwele kaNkulunkulu, odlula kithi njalonjalo.

Wayesebuyela kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , yena nabantu bakhe bonke , weza, wema phambi kwakhe , wathi: Bheka, sengiyazi ukuthi akakho uNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke, kwa-Israyeli kuphela; ngakho ake wamukele isipho encekwini yakho.

Kepha uGehazi inceku ka-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: Bheka, inkosi yami imyekile uNahamani lo wase -Aramu ngokungamukeli ezandleni zakhe akulethayo; kuphila kukaJehova, ngiyakugijima, ngimlandele, ngithathe into kuye.

Kwathi u-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esezwile ukuthi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli iklebhulile izingubo zayo, wathumela enkosini, wathi: Uklebhuleleni izingubo zakho na? Makeze kimi, aze azi ukuthi kukhona umprofethi kwa-Israyeli.

Inkosi yakwa -Israyeli yayisithuma umuntu kaNkulunkulu kuleyo ndawo ayishoyo, wayixwayisa ngayo, yaqaphela kungekanye, kungekabili kuphela.

Isikhonzi somuntu kaNkulunkulu sesivukile ekuseni , saphuma, bheka, impi enamahhashi nezinqola yayiwukakile umuzi . Yayisithi inceku kuye: Maye, nkosi! Sesiyakwenze njani?

Wathi lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu : Iwelephi na ? Wamkhombisa indawo . Wayesenquma uthi, waluphonsa khona, insimbi yantanta.

Umuntu lowo kaNkulunkulu wathumela enkosini yakwa -Israyeli, wathi: Qaphela ukuba ungadluli kuleyo ndawo , ngokuba ama-Aramu aseyaphumula khona.

Inkosi yabeka esangweni induna eyencika esandleni sayo ; abantu bayinyathela esangweni , yafa njengokusho kwalowo muntu kaNkulunkulu akukhuluma ekwehleleni kwenkosi kuye.

Kwathi lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu esekhulumile enkosini ngok uthi: Kuyakuba ngamaseya amabili ebhali ngeshekeli neseya lempuphu ecolekileyo ngeshekeli ngalesi sikhathi kusasa esangweni laseSamariya,

induna yaphendula umuntu kaNkulunkulu , yathi: Bheka, noma uJehova ewenza amafasitele ezulwini , le nto ingenzeka na ? Wathi: Bheka, uyakukubona ngamehlo akho, ungadli kukho kodwa.

Induna inkosi eyencika esandleni sayo yaphendula umuntu kaNkulunkulu , yathi: Bheka, uma uJehova enza amafasitele ezulwini , le nto ingenzeka kanjani na ? Wathi: Bheka, uyakukubona ngamehlo akho , ungadli kukho kodwa. Abanochoko basemnyango waseSamariya. Ukubaleka kwama-Aramu

U-Elisha wayesemgqolozela , UHazayeli waze waba namahloni . Wayeseqhumuka ekhala umuntu kaNkulunkulu.

Wasuka lowo wesifazane , wenza njengezwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu ; wahamba nabendlu yakhe , wagogobala ezweni lamaFilisti iminyaka eyisikhombisa.

Inkosi yayisilokhu ikhuluma noGehazi inceku yomuntu kaNkulunkulu ukuthi: Ake ungilandise zonke izinto ezinkulu azenzileyo u-Elisha.

Wayesefika u-Elisha eDamaseku; uBeni Hadadi inkosi yase-Aramu wayegula; watshelwa ukuthi: Umuntu kaNkulunkulu ufikile lapha.

Inkosi yayisithi kuHazayeli: Zithathele ngesandla sakho izipho , uhambe umhlangabeze lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu , ubuze kuJehova ngaye ukuthi: Ngiyakusinda kulesi sifo na?

Lase lifika izwi likaJehova kuShemaya umuntu kaNkulunkulu, lathi:

UMoya kaNkulunkulu waba phezu kuka-Azariya indodana ka-Odedi;

Wangenisa endlini kaNkulunkulu izinto ezingcwele zikayise nezinto zakhe ezingcwele: isiliva, negolide, nezitsha.

Kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uDavide wayewukhuphulile eKiriyati Jeharimi, wawuyisa endaweni uDavide ayewulungisele yona , ngokuba wayewumisele itende eJerusalema.

Wayenabo ethukusiwe endlini kaNkulunkulu iminyaka eyisi thupha; u- Athaliya wabusa ezweni.

Lonke ibandla lenza isivumelwano nenkosi endlini kaNkulunkulu ; uJehoyada wathi : Bhekani, indodana yenkosi iyakubusa njengokukhuluma kukaJehova ngamadodana kaDavide.

UJehoyada umpristi wani kela ezinduneni zamakhulu imikhonto namahawu nezihlangu okwakungokwenkosi uDavide, kusendlini kaNkulunkulu.

Inkosi noJehoyada bayinika abenza umsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu, baqasha abakhi nababazi ukuvusa indlu kaJehova , nabasebenza ngensimbi nethusi ukuba baqinise indlu kaJehova.

Zase zisebenza -ke izisebenzi , zalungisa zaqeda ngezandla zazo , zayimisa indlu kaNkulunkulu ngezilinganiso zayo, zayiqinisa.

UMoya kaNkulunkulu wembesa uZakariya indodana kaJehoyada umpristi; wema ngaphezu kwabantu , wathi kubo : Usho kanje uNkulunkulu , uthi: Neqelani imiyalo kaJehova ukuba ningabi nampumelelo na ? Ngokuba nimshiyile uJehova, naye unishiyile nina.

Wabutha abapristi namaLevi, wathi kubo: Phumani niye emizini yakwaJuda, niqoqe ku -Israyeli wonke imali yokulungisa indlu kaNkulunkulu wenu iminyaka ngeminyaka, niyisheshise le ndaba. Kepha amaLevi awasheshanga.

Ngokuba amadodana ka-Athaliya, owesifazane lowo omubi , ayeyichithile indlu kaNkulunkulu , nezinto zonke ezingcwele zendlu kaJehova azenza ukuba zibe ngezikaBali.

Kwase kumenyezelwa kwaJuda naseJerusalema ukuba balethe kuJehova intela uMose inceku kaNkulunkulu ayibeke phezu kuka-Israyeli ehlane.

Kepha kwafika kuye umuntu kaNkulunkulu , wathi: Nkosi, impi yakwa - Israyeli mayingahambi nawe , ngokuba uJehova akasenaye u -Israyeli nabo bonke abantwana bakwa-Efrayimi,

U-Amasiya wayesethi kulowo muntu kaNkulunkulu: Kepha siyakwenze njani ngamatalenta ayikhulu engiwanike impi yakwa -Israyeli na ? Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: UJehova unamandla okukunika okuningi kunalokho.

U-Ahazi waqoqa izinto zendlu kaNkulunkulu , wazihlahlela izinto zendlu kaNkulunkulu, wavala izivalo zendlu kaJeh ova, wazenzela ama -altare emagumbini onke aseJerusalema.

Bema ezindaweni zabo njengehlelo labo ngokomthetho kaMose , umuntu kaNkulunkulu; abapristi bafafaza ngegazi elalisesandleni samaLevi.

OJehiyeli, no-Azaziya, noNahati, no-Asaheli, noJerimoti, noJozabadi, no- Eleyeli, noJisimakiya, noMahati, noBenaya babe ngababonisi phansi kwesandla sikaKhonaniya noShimeyi umfowabo ngesiyalezo sikaHezekiya inkosi no-Azariya umphathi wendlu kaNkulunkulu.

UKore, indodana kaJimna umLevi , umlindisango wasesangwe ni lasempumalanga, wayephethe iminikelo yesihle kaNkulunkulu ukuba abele iminikelo kaJehova nezinto ezingcwele.

Emisebenzini yonke ayiqalayo enkonzweni yendlu kaNkulunkulu , nasemthethweni, nasemiyalweni, ukuba afune uNkulunkulu wakhe , wakwenza ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakhe, waphumelela.

UJehova wathuma ingelosi eyanquma onke amaqhawe anamandla , nabaholi, nezinduna ekamu lenkosi yase -Asiriya. Yayisibuyela ez weni layo ijabhile. Isingenile endlini kankulunkulu wayo , ababephume ezibilinini zayo bayibulala khona ngenkemba.

Wabeka umfanekiso obaziweyo wesithombe awenzileyo endlini kaNkulunkulu asho ngayo uNkulunkulu kuDavide nakuSolomoni indodana yakhe ukuthi : Kule ndlu naseJerusalema engilikhethile ezizweni zonke zakwa-Israyeli ngiyakubeka igama lami kuze kube phakade;

Ayephezu kwabathwala imithwalo , ahola bonke abenza umsebenzi wezinkonzo ngezinkonzo; kumaLevi kwakukhona nababhali , nezinduna, nabalindisango. Incwadi yomthetho kaNkulunkulu

Bafika kuHilikiya umpristi omkhulu , bayinikeza imali eyayilethwe endlini kaNkulunkulu iqoqwe ngamaLevi, abalindisango, esandleni sakwaManase no- Efrayimi, nakuyo yonke insali yakwa -Israyeli, nakuye wonke uJuda noBenjamini, nakwabakhileyo eJerusalema;

Kepha uJosiya akaphendukanga kuye, kodwa waziguqula ukuba alwe naye; akalalelanga amazwi kaNekho emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu , weza ukulwa esigodini saseMegido.

Izikhulu zakhe zabanika abantu , nabapristi, namaLevi iminikelo yesihle . OHilikiya, noZakariya, noJehiyeli, abaphathi bendlu kaNkulunkulu, babanika abapristi amawundlu ayizinkulungwa ne ezimbili namakhulu ayisithupha nezinkabi ezingamakhulu amathathu, kube ngokweminikelo yephasika.

Zonke izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu , ezinkulu nezincane, nengcebo yendlu kaJehova, nengcebo yenkosi neyezikhulu zayo , konke lokho wakuyisa eBabele.

Bayishisa indlu kaNkulunkulu , baludiliza ugange lwaseJerusalema , bazishisa zonke izinqaba ngomlilo , bazichitha zonke izitsha ezinxanelekayo zakhona.

Yilesi isisekelo uSolomoni asibekela ukub a kwakhiwe indlu kaNkulunkulu : ubude ngezingalo zesilinganiso esidala babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, ububanzi babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili.

UHiramu wenza amakhanzi, namafosholo, nezitsha. UHiramu wayeseqeda ukwenza umsebenzi abewenzela inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaNkulunkulu:

Wawusuphela-ke wonke umsebenzi uSolomoni awenzela indlu kaJehova . USolomoni wangenisa izinto ezazingcweliswe nguDavide uyise , kanye nesiliva negolide , nazo zonke izitsha , wakubeka engcebeni yendlu kaNkulunkulu.

baze bangema abapristi ukukhonza ngenxa yefu ; ngokuba inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.

Wamisa njengomthetho kaDavide uyise izigaba zabapristi enkonzweni yabo, namaLevi ezikhundl eni zawo ukuba adumise , akhonze phambi kwabapristi njengokudingekayo imihla ngemihla , nabalindisango ngezigaba zabo emasangweni ngamasango , ngokuba uDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayeyale kanjalo.

UPawulu, umphostoli kaKristu Jesu ngentando kaNkulunkulu ngokwesithembiso sokuphila okukuKristu Jesu,

Ngalokho ungabi namahloni ngobufakazi ngeNkosi yethu nangami, isiboshwa sayo , kodwa hlanganyela ukuhluphekela ivangeli ngamandla kaNkulunkulu

UPawulu, umphostoli kaKristu Jesu ngentando kaNkulunkulu , noThimothewu umzalwane kulo ibandla likaNkulu nkulu eliseKorinte nakubo abangcwele bonke abakulo lonke lase-Akhaya:

Ngokuba ukuzibonga kwethu yilokhu , okungubufakazi bukanembeza wethu, ukuthi sahamba ezweni kakhulu maqondana na ni ngobungcwele nangobuqotho bukaNkulunkulu , kungengokuhlakanipha kwenyama kodwa ngomusa kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba iNdodana kaNkulunkulu uKristu Jesu owashunyayelwa kini yithina, mina, noSilvanu, noThimothewu, wayengesiye uyebo kanye noqhabo, kepha kuyena kunguyebo.

nibonakala ukuthi niyincwadi kaKristu eyenziwe ngokukhonza kwethu , ilotshiwe kungengoyinki kodwa ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu ophilayo , kungabi sezibhebheni zamatshe kodwa ezibhebheni eziyizinhliziyo zenyama.

okukubona abangakholwa unkulunkulu waleli zwe uphuphuthekisile ingqondo yabo , ukuze kungasi kubo ukukhanya kwevangeli lenkazimulo kaKristu ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu owathi : Akuvele ukukhanya ebumnyameni, kukhanye, nguyena owakhanyisa ezinhliziyweni zethu ukuba kukhanye ukwazi inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ebusweni bukaKristu. Amandla avela evangelini ayaqinisa ezinhluphekweni nasezingozini

Ngokuba noma sigcwaneka, kungenxa kaNkulunkulu; noma sisangulukile, kungenxa yenu.

Kepha thina esisebenza kanye naye siyanincenga ukuba ningawamukeleli ize umusa kaNkulunkulu --

nangezwi leqini so, nangamandla kaNkulunkulu , nangezikhali zokulunga zesokunene nezesokhohlo,

Kepha siyanazisa , bazalwane, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu awuphiweyo amabandla aseMakedoniya

futhi akubanga njengokwethemba kwethu kuphela , kepha bazinikela bon a uqobo kuqala eNkosini nakithi futhi ngentando kaNkulunkulu,

ukuze igama leNkosi yethu uJesu likhazimuliswe kini , nani kuye , ngokomusa kaNkulunkulu wethu noweNkosi uJesu Kristu.

kuze kuthi thina ngokwethu sizincome ngani emabandleni kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokukhuthazela kwenu nokukholwa ekuzingelweni kwenu konke nasezinhluphekweni enibekezela kuzo,

okuyisiboniso sokwahlulela okulungileyo kukaNkulunkulu , ukuze kuthiwe ningabalungele umbuso kaNkulunkulu enihlupheka ngenxa yawo,

Qinani, masiziqinise ngenxa yabantu bakithi nangenxa yemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu; uJehova makenze okuhle emehlweni akhe.

Yayisithi incekukazi yakho: Izwi lenkosi yami, inkosi, malibe ngelokuthula, ngokuba inkosi yami , inkosi, injengengelosi kaNkulunkulu ekuzweni okuhle nokubi; uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho makabe nawe.

Bheka, kwafika noSadoki nawo onke amaLevi enaye , ethwele umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu; abeka phansi umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, u- Abiyathara wenyuka, baze baphuma bonke abantu emzini.

Ngalokho oSadoki no-Abiyathara bawubuyisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema, bahlala khona.

Ihlebile inceku yakho enkosini yami , inkosi, kepha inkosi yami , inkosi, injengengelosi kaNkulunkulu; ngalokho yenza okuhle emehlweni akho.

Indlela kaNkulunkulu iphelele ; izwi likaJehova lihlanzekile ; yena uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.

Lawa angamazwi okugcina kaDavide . UDavide indodana kaJese uthi , umuntu owaphakanyiselwa phezulu uthi , ogcotshiweyo kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe nomhlabeleli omnandi wakwa-Israyeli usho ukuthi:

Kwatshelwa inkosi uDavide ukuthi uJehova ubusisile indlu ka -Obede Edomi nakho konke okwakhe ngenxa yomphongolo kaNkulunkulu . UDavide wahamba wenyusa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu endlini ka -Obede Edomi , wawuyisa emzini kaDavide ngokujabula.

UDavide wahamba nabo bonke abantu ababe naye , besuka eBali Juda ukwenyusa khona umphongolo kaNkulunkulu obizwa ngeGama , lona igama likaJehova Sebawoti ohlala phezu kwamakherubi.

Bawuhambisa umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngengqukumbane entsha , bewukhipha endlini ka -Abinadaba eyayisegqumeni ; o-Uza no -Ahiyo amadodana ka-Abinadaba bashayela leyo ngqukumbane entsha.

Ekufikeni kwabo esibuyeni sikaNakoni u -Uza welulela isandla emphongolweni kaNkulunkulu, wawubamba, ngokuba izinkabi zashelela.

Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u -Uza, uNkulunkulu wamshaya lapho ngenxa yesiphosiso sakhe; wafela khona ngasemphongolweni kaNkulunkulu.

inkosi yathi kuNathani umprofethi : Bheka, mina ngihlala endlini yemisedari, kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uhlala phakathi kwezilenge.

Inkosi yayisithi : Akusekho endlini kaSawule noyedwa engingamenzela umusa kaNkulunkulu na ? USiba wathi enkosini : UJonathani usenendodana elunyonga ngezinyawo.

ngokuba bheka , uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana , impuco ayiyikuthinta ekhanda layo , ngokuba umntwana uyakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni; uyakuqala ukusindisa u-Israyeli esandleni samaFilisti.

Owesifazane wayeseya ukubika endodeni yakhe , ethi: Kufikile kimi umuntu kaNkulunkulu, isimo sakhe sasinjengesimo sengelosi kaNkulunkulu, sesabeka kakhulu; angimbuzanga ukuthi uvelaphi, naye akangitshelanga igama lakhe.

Kepha wathi kimi : Bheka, uyakukhulelwa, uzale indodana ; ngakho ungaphuzi wayini naluphuzo olunamandla , ungadli lutho olungcolileyo , ngokuba umntwana uyakuba ngumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni kuze kube sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

UManowa wayesemncenga uJehova, wathi: O Nkosi, umuntu kaNkulunkulu owamthumayo ake abuyele kithi, asifundise ukuthi siyakwenzani kumntwana ozakuzalwa.

UNkulunkulu walalela izwi likaManowa ; ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yabuyela kowesifazane ehlezi endle; kepha uManowa indoda yakhe wayengenaye.

Wamtshela inhliziyo yakhe yonke , wathi kuye : Akuthintanga mpuco ekhanda lami , ngokuba bengingumNaziri kaNkulunkulu kwasesizalweni sikamame; uma ngiphuculwa , amandla ami ayakumuka kimi , ngiyakuba buthakathaka, ngibe njengomunye umuntu.

Base bemisa isithombe esibaziweyo sikaMika abesenzile sonke isikhathi indlu kaNkulunkulu iseShilo.

Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kuye : Thatha inyama namaqebelengwane angenamvubelo, ukubeke edwaleni leli, uwuthulule umhluzi. Wenze njalo.

Baya endle , bavuna izivini zabo , banyathela imivini , bagubha umkhosi , bangena endlini kankulunkulu wabo , badla, baphuza, bamqalekisa u - Abimeleki.

ngokuba babephambene namazwi kaNkulunkulu , babesidelele isiluleko soPhezukonke.

Sukani kimi nina enenza okubi , ngokuba ngiyakugcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu wami.

enimi endlini kaJehova emagcekeni endlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Indlela kaNkulunkulu iphelele ; izwi likaJehova lihlanzekile ; yena uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.

Mnikeni uJehova, nina madodana kaNkulunkulu , mnikeni uJehova udumo namandla.

Umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakhe usenhliziyweni yakhe ; izinyathelo za khe azisheleli.

Ukhona umfula omanzi awo athokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indlu engcwele yoPhezukonke.

Mkhulu uJehova, udunyiswa kakhulu emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu entabeni yakhe engcwele.

Njengalokho sizwile, kanjalo sikubonile emzini kaJehova Sebawoti, emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu; uNkulunkulu uyakuwumisa kuze kube phakade. Sela

Onikela ngomnikelo wokubonga uyangidumisa ; oqaphela indlel a yakh e ngiyakumbonisa insindiso kaNkulunkulu.

Iminikelo kaNkulunkulu ingumoya owaphukileyo ; inhliziyo eyaphukileyo nedabukileyo, Nkulunkulu, awuyikuyidelela.

Uzigabiselani ngokubi wena siqhwaga na? Umusa kaNkulunkulu umi njalo.

Kepha mina nginjengomnqumo oluhlaz a endlini kaNkulunkulu; ngithemba umusa kaNkulunkulu njalonjalo kuze kube phakade naphakade.

Sasihlalisana kamnandi ; sasiya endlini kaNkulunkulu kanye nebandla elithokozayo.

Uhambela umhlaba, unisa imvula , uwuvundisa kakhulu ; umfula kaNkulunkulu ugcwele amanzi ; ubalungisela abantu ukudla , ngokuba uwulungisa kanjalo umhlaba.

Intaba yaseBas hani iyintaba kaNkulunkulu ; intaba yaseBashani iyintaba eneziqongo.

ngaze ngangena endlini engcwele kaNkulunkulu , ngaqaphelisisa ukugcina kwabo.

intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu yabavukela , wabulala abakhulupheleyo babo , wawisa phansi izinsizwa zakwa-Israyeli.

babeke ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu , bangakhohlwa imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kepha bagcine imiyalo yakhe.

Izintaba zambozwa ngumthunzi wawo , nemisedari kaNkulunkulu ngamagatsha awo.

Ngokuba kuyisimiso kwa-Israyeli nomthetho kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

ababethi: Masizithabathele amadlelo kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba usuku lunye emagcekeni akho luhle kunezinye eziyizinkulungwane. Ngiyakhetha ukulinda emnyango wendlu kaNkulunkulu wami kunokuhlala ematendeni ababi.

Okudumisekayo kukhulunywa ngawe, muzi kaNkulunkulu. Sela

Ngokuba ngubani osemafwini ongalinganiswa noJehova na ? Ngubani phakathi kwamadodana kaNkulunkulu ongafaniswa noJehova na?

Batshaliwe endlini kaJehova, bamila emagcekeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Ukhumbulile umusa wakhe nokuthembeka kwakhe kuyo indlu ka -Israyeli; imikhawulo yonke yomhlaba ibonile insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu.

UJakobe, inceku kaNkulunkulu neyeNkosi uJesu Kristu , uyakhonza kuzo izizwe eziyishumi nambili ezihlakazekileyo. Ukuyala ngezilingo

kwagcwaliseka umbhalo othi : Kepha u -Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi kungukulunga , wabizwa ngokuthi umhlobo kaNkulunkulu.

Ngalo sibonga iNkosi uBab a, nangalo siqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu;

Ngokuba sebengenile ngokunyenya abantu abathile okwalotshwa ngabo phambili endulo ukuthi bayakwehlelwa y ilokhu kulahlwa , abangamesabi uNkulunkulu, bephendukezela umusa kaNkulunkulu wethu ube ngamanyala , bephika uMbusi oyedwa neNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

kepha ngezinsuku zezwi lengelosi yesikhombisa , lapho isizakubetha icilongo, imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu isiyakube ifeziwe , njengalokho azazisa izinceku zakhe abaprofethi ngezindaba ezijabulisayo.

Udrako wamthukuthelela owesifazane , wamuka, wayokulwa nabaseleyo benzalo yakhe , labo abagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nabanobufakazi bukaJesu.

Nakhu ukubekezela kwabangcwele abagcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu nokukholwa nguJesu.

Ngabona kungathi ulwandle lwengilazi luxubene no mlilo, nabavela ekunqobeni isilo nomfanekiso waso nesibalo segama laso bemi ngaselwandle lwengilazi, benamahabhu kaNkulunkulu.

Bahlabelela igama likaMose inceku kaNkulunkulu negama leWundlu, bathi: Mikhulu, iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho , Nkosi Nkulunkulu , Mninimandla onke; zilungile, ziqinisile izindlela zakho wena Nkosi yezizwe;

ngokuba uNkulunkulu ukufakile ezinhliziyweni zazo ukuba zenze umqondo wakhe, ziwenze umqondo munye, zinike isilo umbuso wazo, aze agcwaliseke amazwi kaNkulunkulu.

Yayisithi kimi : Loba ukuthi : Babusisiwe abamenyelwe esidlweni somshado weWundlu. Yayisithi kimi: Lawo angamazwi aqinisileyo kaNkulunkulu.

unenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ; ukukhanya kwawo kwakunjengetshe elinenani elikhulu sengathi yitshe lejaspi elicwebezelayo,

Umuzi awudingi ilanga nenyanga ukuba kukhanye kuwo , ngokuba inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyawukhanyisa, nesibani sawo siyiWundlu.

Nakuyo ingelosi yebandla laseThiyathira loba ukuthi : Nakhu ekushoyo iNdodana kaNkulunkulu enamehlo anjengamalangabi omlilo, nezinyawo zayo zifana nethusi elikhazimulayo, ithi:

Onqobayo ngiyakumenza abe yinsika ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami , futhi akasoze aph uma khona ; ngiyakuloba negama likaNkulunkulu wami phezu akhe, negama lomuzi kaNkulunkulu wami , iJerusalema elisha elehla ezulwini kuNkulunkulu wami, negama lami elisha.

Onke amazwi kaNkulunkulu acwebile; uyisihlangu kwabaphephela kuye.

UJesu waphendula, wathi kuye : Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kuwe : Uma umuntu engazalwa ngokusha, angewubone umbuso kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba lowo uNkulunkulu amthumileyo ukhuluma amazwi kaNkulunkulu; ngokuba akaniki uMoya ngokulinganisela.

Seniyakuthwala uSakuti inkosi yen u noKhewani inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu, izithombe zenu enizenzele zona.

Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu eyayihambile phambi kwempi ka -Israyeli yasuka yahamba emva kwabo , nensika yefu yasuka phambi kwabo , yema emva kwabo.

UMose wathi kuJoshuwa : Sikhethele amadoda , uphume ulwe no -Amaleki; kusasa ngizakuma esiqongweni sentaba , induku kaNkulunkulu isesandleni sami.

UJetiro umukhwe kaMose wafika namadodana akhe nomkakhe kuMose ehlane, lapho wayemise khona ngasentabeni kaNkulunkulu.

Wasuka uMose nenceku yakhe uJoshuwa ; uMose wakhuphukela entabeni kaNkulunkulu.

Eseqedile ukukhuluma noMose entabeni yaseSinayi wamnika izibhebhe zombili zobufakazi , izibhebhe zamatshe , zilotshiwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu.

Ngimgcwalisile ngoMoy a kaNkulunkulu , ngokuhlakanipha nangokuqonda nangokwazi nangamandla emisebenzini yonke,

Izibhebhe zazingumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu , nokuloba kwakungukuloba kukaNkulunkulu, kuqoshiwe ezibhebheni.

umgcwalisile ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu , ngokuhlakanipha nangokuqonda nangokwazi nangamandla emisebenzini yonke

UMose wayalusa izimvu zikaJetiro umukhwe wakhe , umpristi wakwaMidiyani; waziqhuba izimvu , waya ngaphambili kwehlane , waze wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu iHorebe.

UMose wayesethatha umkakhe namadodana akhe , wabakhwelisa embongolweni, wabuyela ezweni laseGibithe ; uMose waphatha induku kaNkulunkulu ngesandla sakhe.

UJehova wayesethi ku -Aroni: Hamba umhlangabeze uMose eh lane. Wahamba, wahlangana naye entabeni kaNkulunkulu, wamanga.

Zase zithi izanusi kuFaro : Lokhu kungumunwe kaNkulunkulu . Kepha inhliziyo kaFaro yaba lukhuni, kabalalelanga, njengalokho eshilo uJehova. Inhlupheko yesine: izibawu

U-Ezra esakhuleka , evuma izono ngokukhala , eziwise phansi phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, kwabuthana kuye kuvela ku-Israyeli ibandla elikhulu kakhulu labesilisa nabesifazane nabantwana , ngokuba abantu bakhala ngokukhala okukhulu.

Izinduna zethu mazime phambi kwebandla lonke ; bonke abasemizini yethu abathathe abesifazane babezizwe mabeze ngesikhathi esinqunyiweyo , benamalunga emizi ngemizi nabahluleli ba yo, ize ibuye kithi intukuthelo evuthayo kaNkulunkulu wethu kule ndaba.

Ngalokho masenze isivumelwano noNkulunkulu wethu ukuba silahle bonke abesifazane nabazelwe yibo ngesiluleko senkosi nesabathuthumela ngomyalo kaNkulunkulu wethu; akwenziwe ngomthetho.

Wayesevuka u -Ezra phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu , wangena ekamelweni likaJehohanani indodana ka -Eliyashibi, kepha esefike khona akadlanga sinkwa, kaphuzanga manzi , ngokuba walila ngenxa yesiphambeko sabathunjwa.

Bonke abantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBenjamini babuthana eJerusalema ngezinsuku ezintathu ; kwakuyinyanga yesishiyagalolunye , ngolwamashumi amabili lwenyanga ; bonke abantu bahlala esigcawini ngaphambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu bethuthumela ngale ndaba nangemvula enkulu.

Bonke abaseleyo, nakuziphi izindawo lapho begogobele khona , mabasizwe ngabantu bendawo yabo ngesiliva, nangegolide, nangempahla, nangezinkomo kanye nomnikelo wesihle wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema.

Ezinye izinhloko zawoyise ekufikeni kwazo endlini kaJehova eseJerusalema zanikelela ngenhliziyo indlu kaNkulunkulu ukuba imiswe endaweni yayo;

Kwase kusuka uJeshuwa indodana kaJosadaki , nabafowabo abapristi , noZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli , nabafowabo, bakha i -altare likaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli ukuba banikele ngeminikelo yokushiswa phezu kwalo njengokulotshiweyo emthethweni kaMose umuntu kaNkulunkulu.

Ngomnyaka wesibili wokufika kwabo endli ni kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ngenyanga yesibili uZerubabele , indodana kaSheyalitiyeli , noJeshuwa indodana kaJosadaki, nensali yabafowabo abapristi , namaLevi, nabo bonke abafike eJerusalema bevela ekuthunjweni baqala ukumisa amaLevi, kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabili kuya phezulu ukuba babonise umsebenzi wendlu kaJehova.

Wawusuthiywa umsebenzi wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema. Wathiywa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wesibili wokubusa kukaDariyu inkosi yasePheresiya.

Kepha ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi yaseBabele , uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo sokuba kwakhiwe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu.

Futhi izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zendlu kaNkulunkulu azikhipha uNebukadinesari ethempelini elaliseJerusalema wazingenisa ethempelini laseBabele, zona lezo uKoresi inkosi wazikhipha e thempelini laseBabele , zanikwa omunye ogama lakhe lalinguSheshebasari, owayemenze umbusi;

wathi kuye : Thatha lezi zitsha , uye uzibeke ethempelini eliseJerusalema , indlu kaNkulunkulu yakhiwe endaweni yayo.

Wayesefika lowo Sheshebasari , wabeka izisekelo zendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema; kusukela kuleso sikhathi kuze kube manje isakhiwa njalo , kayikapheli.

Ngalokho uma kukuhle enkosini , makucingwe endlini yengcebo yenkosi elapho eBabele ukuba kunjalo yini ukuthi uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo soku ba kwakhiwe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema ; inkosi mayithume kithi inhloso yayo ngalokho.

Kwase kusuka uZerubabele indodana kaSheyalitiyeli noJeshuwa , indodana kaJosadaki, baqala ukwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema ; abaprofethi bakaNkulunkulu babenabo bebasiza.

uNkulunkulu ohlalise khona igama lakhe awise phansi onke amakhosi nabantu abayakwelula izandla zabo ukuba baguqule lokho , bachithe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema . Mina Dariyu ngikhiphe isimemezelo ; masenziwe ngaso sonke isineke.

Abantwana bakwa -Israyeli, abapristi namaLevi nabanye abathunjwa , bagcina ukuhlanjululwa kwaleyo ndlu kaNkulunkulu ngokuthokoza.

Banikela ekuhlanjululweni kwaleyo ndlu kaNkulunkulu ngezinkunzi eziyikhulu, nangezinqama ezingamakhulu amabili , nangamawundlu angamakhulu amane, kanye nezimpongo eziyishumi nambili zibe ngumnikelo wokona ngo-Israyeli wonke njengokomumo wezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.

Bamisa abapristi ngamaqembu abo namaLevi ngezigaba zawo ukuba baphathe inkonzo kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema njengokulotshiweyo encwadini kaMose.

bagubha umkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngokuthokoza, ngokuba uJehova wayebathokozisile, waguqulela inhliziyo yenkosi yase-Asiriya kubo ukuba kuqiniswe izandla zabo emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

Ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi , uKoresi inkosi wakhipha isimemezelo sokuthi : Ngendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema , indlu mayakhiwe endaweni lapho benik elela khona ngemihlatshelo , zibekwe izisekelo zayo , ziqine, ukuphakama kwayo kube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, ububanzi bayo bube yizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha;

futhi izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zendlu kaNkulunkulu , uNebukadinesari azikhipha ethempelini eliseJerusalema waziyisa eBabele , mazibuyiswe, ziyiswe ethempelini eliseJerusalema , kube yileso naleso endaweni yaso , zibekwe endlini kaNkulunkulu.

wuyekeni umsebenzi waleyo ndlu kaNkulunkulu ; umbusi wabaJuda namalunga abaJuda mabakhe le ndlu kaNkulunkulu endaweni yayo.

Futhi ngikhipha isimemezelo ngeniyakukwenza kulawo malunga abaJuda ukuba kwakhiwe leyo ndlu kaNkulunkulu : labo bantu mabanikwe kakhulu izindleko empahleni yenkosi , intela yaphesheya koMfula , ukuba bangathiywa.

U-Aritahishashita, inkosi yamakhosi ku -Ezra, umpristi nombhali womthetho kaNkulunkulu wezulu; ukuthula, nokuthi nokuthi.

njengokuba uthunyiwe yinkosi nabeluleki bayo abayisikhombisa ukubuza ngelakwaJuda neJerusalema njengokomthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho osesandleni sakho,

kanye nalo lonke isiliva negolide oyakukufumana ezweni lonke laseBabele , neminikelo yesihle yabantu neyabapristi , benikelela ngesihle indlu kaNkulunkulu wabo eseJerusalema.

Ngalokho uyakuthenga ngesineke sonke ngale mali izinkunzi , nezinqama, namawundlu kanye neminikelo yakho yempuphu neminikelo yakho yokuphuzwa, unikele ngakho e -altare lendlu kaNkulunkulu wenu eseJerusalema.

Okuhle kuwe nakubafowenu ukuba nikwenze ngesiliva negolide eliseleyo , kwenzeni ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu wenu.

Izitsha onikwe zona ukuba zibe ngezenkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu wakho , zibuyisele phambi kukaNkulunkulu waseJerusalema.

Okunye okudingekayo endlini kaNkulunkulu wakho , ofanele ukukunika , kukhiphe endlini yengcebo yenkosi.

Kimina, yebo, mina Aritahishashita inkosi, kukhishwa isimemezelo kubo bonke abaphathizikhwama abangaphesheya koMfula ukuthi konke u -Ezra umpristi nombhali wom thetho kaNkulunkulu wezulu ayakukubiza kini , makwenziwe ngesineke sonke,

Konke okusesimemezelweni sikaN kulunkulu wezulu makwenzelwe ngesineke indlu kaNkulunkulu wezulu , ngokuba kungase kube khona intukuthelo phezu kombuso wenkosi namadodana ayo na?

Futhi siyanazisa ukuthi akakho onegunya lokuthelisa abapristi namaLevi , nabahlabeleli, nabalindisango, namaNethini, nezinceku zale ndlu kaNkulunkulu intela, nenkokhiso, nemali yendlela.

Bonke abangayikwenza umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho nomthetho wenkosi mabahlulelwe ngaso sonke isineke , noma kube ngokokufa noma okokuxoshwa, noma impahla yabo ibe yisizi, noma kube ngukuboshwa.

Ngabathuma k u-Ido, inhloko yasendaweni yaseKhasifiya , ngabeka emlonyeni wabo amazwi abayakuwakhuluma ku -Ido nakubafowabo amaNethini endaweni yaseKhasifiya ukuba basilethele izinceku zendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.

ngabalinganisela isiliva negolide nezitsha , umnikelo wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, okwakunikelwe ngawo yinkosi nabeluleki bayo, nezikhulu zayo, naye wonke u-Israyeli owayelapho;

Base bamukela abapristi namaLevi okulinganisiweyo , isiliva negolide nezitsha, ukuba bakuyise eJerusalema endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Ngosuku lwesine kwalinganiswa isiliva negolide nezitsha endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu , kwanikezwa esandleni sikaMeremoti , indodana ka - Uriya, umpristi; u-Eleyazare indodana kaFinehasi wayenaye ; uJozabadi indodana kaJeshuwa noNohadiya, indodana kaBinuwi, amaLevi, babe nabo,

Banika imithetho yenkosi kothulasizwe benkosi nakubabusi phesheya koMfula; basekela abantu nendlu kaNkulunkulu.

Kwase kubuthana kimi bonke abathuthumela ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu ka - Israyeli ngenxa yesiphambeko sabathunjwa ; ngahlala ngimangele kwaze kwaba sesikhathini somnikelo wakusihlwa.

Ngokuba siyizigqila ; nokho uNkulunkulu wethu akasishiyanga ebugqileni bethu, kepha usenzele isihawu emehlweni amakhosi asePheresiya ukuba asinike ikhefu , simise ind lu kaNkulunkulu wethu , sivuse incithakalo yayo , asinike ugange kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

Abantu abaningi bayakuhamba , bathi: Wozani sikhuphukele entabeni kaJehova endlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe ; uyakusifundisa izindlela zakhe , sihambe emikhondweni yakhe, ngokuba umthetho uyakuvela eSiyoni , nezwi likaJehova eJerusalema.

Izwi liyamemeza lithi : Lungisani ehlane indlela kaJehova , nihlelembe oqwathuleni umgwaqo kaNkulunkulu wethu.

UJehova wambulile ingalo yakhe engcwel e emehlweni ezizwe zonke , namajukujuku onke omhlaba ayakubona insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu.

Umbuso uyakuba mkhulu , ukuthula kungabi nakuphel a esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide nasembusweni wakhe , ukuze u qiniswe, usekelwe ngokwahlulela nangokulunga , kusukela manje kuze kube phakade . Ukushisekela kukaJehova Sebawoti kuyakwenza lokhu. Intukuthelo kaNkulunkulu ngaku-Israyeli

INkosi yanikela esandleni sakhe uJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, nenxenye yezitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu , waziyisa ezweni laseShineyari endlini kankulunkulu wakhe, waziyisa izitsha endlini yengcebo kankulunkulu wakhe.

Base beletha izitsha zegolide ezazikhishwe ethempelini lendlu kaNkulunkulu yaseJerusalema, inkosi, nezikhulu zayo , nawomkayo, nezancinza zayo baphuza ngazo.

Kwathi isisondele emphandwini k uDaniyeli, yamemeza ngezwi elikhalayo ; inkosi yakhuluma , yathi kuDaniyeli : Daniyeli, wena nceku kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uNkulunkulu wakho omkhonza njalo angakukhulula kuzo izingonyama na?

Ayesethi lawa madoda : Asiyikuthola lutho ngoDaniyeli , uma singalutholi kokuqondene nomthetho kaNkulunkulu wakhe.

Wonke u -Israyeli weqile umthetho wakho , echezuka ukuze bangalilaleli izwi lakho ; ngalokho isiqalekiso sithululwe phezu kwethu kanye nesifungo esilotshiwe emthethweni kaMose inceku kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba sonile kuye.

Ngisakhuluma ngikhuleka, ngivuma izono zami nezono zabantu bakithi u - Israyeli, ngiletha u kunxusa kwami phambi kuk aJehova uNkulunkulu wami ngentaba engcwele kaNkulunkulu wami,

Nasi isibusiso uMose , umuntu kaNkulunkulu , abusisa ngaso abantwana bakwa-Israyeli, engakafi; wathi:

UJehova wanginika lezo zibhebhe ezimbili zamatshe , zilotshwe ngomunwe kaNkulunkulu; kwakulotshwe k uzona njengamazwi onke uJehova awakhuluma kini entabeni, ephakathi komlilo ngosuku lokuhlangana.

UMelkisedeki inkosi yaseSalema waletha isinkwa newayini ; wayengumpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke.

Umhlaba wawuyihlane elingenalutho ; kwakungubumnyama phezu kotwa , kepha uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehla wenyuka phezu kwamanzi.

UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe ; wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane.

UNkulunkulu wezwa izwi lomfana . Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yamemeza kuHagari isezulwini , yathi kuye : Kuyini, Hagari? Ungesabi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu ulizwile izwi lomntwana, lapho ekhona.

Washaywa luvalo , wathi: Yeka ukwesabeka kwale ndawo ! Akusikho okunye, yindlu kaNkulunkulu kuphela, yisango lezulu.

naleli tshe engilimise libe yinsika liyakuba yindlu kaNkulunkulu , nakukho konke oyakungipha khona ngiyakukunika okweshumi.

URaheli wathi : Ngokubambana ngibambene nodadewethu ngamandla kaNkulunkulu, ngamahlula, waqamba igama layo ngokuthi uNafetali.

Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kimi ephusheni: Jakobe! Ngathi: Ngilapha.

Wayesethi uFaro ezincekwini zakhe : Singamthola yini umuntu onjalo , onoMoya kaNkulunkulu, na?

Lokhu kuyincwadi yezizukulwane zika -Adamu. Msukwana uNkulunkulu edala umuntu wamenza ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.

amadodana kaNkulunkulu abona amadodakazi abantu ukuthi mahle , azithathela abafazi kuwo awathandayo.

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakukhona iziqhwaga emhlabeni , nangasemuva futhi , lapho amad odana kaNkulunkulu engena kuwo amadodakazi abantu , awazalela abantwana. Lana ayengamadodana asendulo anamandla, anegama lodumo.

Amakherubi aphakamisa amaphiko awo , enyuka emhlabathini phambi kwamehlo ami ekuphumeni kwawo , amasondo eseceleni kwawo ; ema ngasesivalweni sesango lasempumalanga lendlu kaJehova ; inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yayiphezu kwawo.

Amakherubi ayesephakamisa amaphiko awo namasondo ayeseceleni kwawo; inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yayiphezu kwawo.

UMoya wayesengiphakamisa, wangiyisa ngombono ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu eKalideya kubathunjwa. Wase wenyuka kimi umbono engiwubonileyo.

Wawuse-Edene, insimu kaNkulunkulu ; onke amatshe anqabileyo ayeyisisibekelo sakho , isardiyu, netopazi, nedayimani, neshohamu, nejaspi, nesafire, nesimaragidu, nekrisolithe; nezivunulo zakho nezisekelo zamatshe zaziyigolide, zilungisiwe ngosuku lokudalwa kwakho.

Wawuyikherubi eligcotshiweyo elisibekelayo ; ngakubeka, waba sentabeni engcwele kaNkulunkulu, wahamba phakathi kwamatshe omlilo.

Ngobuningi bokuthenga kwakho wagcwaliswa ngobudlova , wonile; ngalokho ngakulahla ungcolile entabeni kaNkulunkulu, ngakuchitha wena kherubi elisibekelayo, ungabikho phakathi kwamatshe omlilo.

Ndodana yomuntu, thana kuso isikhulu saseTire: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngokuba inhliziyo yakho iziphakamisile , wathi: Ngingunkulunkulu, ngihlala esihlalweni sikaNkulunkul u enhliziyweni yolwandle , ingani ungumuntu, ungesiye uNkulunkulu , noma umise inhliziyo yakho njengenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngenxa yokuba umisile inhliziyo yakho njengenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu,

Imisedari ya sensimini kaNkulunkulu yayingenakuwusitha , imisayipuresi yayingafani nezingatsha zawo , nemipelatani yayingenjengamagatsha awo , futhi kwakungekho nowodwa umuthi ensimini kaNkulunkulu ofana nawo ngobuhle.

Ngawenza waba muhle ngobuningi bamagatsha awo , imithi yonke yase - Edene eyayisensimini kaNkulunkulu yaze yaba nomhawu.

Ngemibono kaNkulunkulu wangiyisa ezweni lakwa -Israyeli, wangibeka entabeni ephakeme kakhulu, okwakuphezu kwayo kungathi isakhiwo somuzi ngaseningizimu.

Wayeselula kungathi isandla , wangibamba ngesihluthu sekhanda lami ; uMoya wangiphakamisa phakathi komhlaba nezulu , wangiyisa ngemibono kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema esivalweni sesango legceke elingaphakathi elibheke ngasenyakatho , lapho kwakukho na isihlalo sesithombe somhawu , esibanga umhawu.

Bheka, inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli yayilapho njengokuyibona kwami esigodini.

Inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli yayenyukile ekherubini eyayiphezu kwalo, yaya embundwini wendlu , wayibiza indoda eyembethe ilineni , eyayinophondo lukayinki womlobi ngasokhalweni lwayo.

Nokho umumo wabant wana bakwa -Israyeli uyakuba ngangesihlabathi solwandle esingenakulinganiswa , singenakubalwa; kuyakuthi esikhundleni sokuba kuthiwe kubo : Anisibo abantu bami , kuthiwe kubo: Ningamadodana kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.

Abantu bami babhujiswa ngokuswela ukwazi ; ngokuba ukulahlile ukwazi nami ngiyakukulahla wena , ungabi ngumpristi wami ; lokhu ukhohliwe umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho nami ngiyakukhohlwa abantwana bakho.
